Hard- and Soft-tissue Changes Following Class III Treatment With the Lower-Clear-Plate-Based Intermaxillary Traction Versus the Removable Mandibular Retractor: a Two-arm Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating lower-clear-plate-based intermaxillary traction (LCP-IMT) and Removable mandibular retractor (RMR) for Class III Malocclusion. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Patients at the Orthodontic Department of the University of Damascus Dental School will be examined, and subjects who meet the inclusion criteria will be included. Then, initial diagnostic records (diagnostic gypsum models, internal and external oral photographs, and radiographic images) will be studied to ensure the selection criteria are accurately matched. This study compares two groups of patients with mild to moderate skeletal Class III in the late mixed occlusion stage. Experimental group: the patients in this group will be treated with Lower-Clear-Plate Based Intermaxillary Traction Control group: the patients in this group will be treated using the Removable Mandibular Retractor (RMR).
